Chapter 659 Departure
-----
"Bleh, how many of these do we need to drink, big brother?" Sighed Anna, as she was barely drinking a bottle with a red colored potion inside. "They taste awful!"
"Ugh… I want to vomit…" Allan cried.
This morning, I had given to both of them some Dragon Blood Elixirs so they could awaken their skills further, raise their stats, and maybe unlock some dragon skills, which are always useful.
"Drink them and I\'ll give you some candies, and chocolate." I said, showing them the goods. "If you drink these other ten, five each, I\'ll give you even more sweets, treats, and some amazing pastries named donuts."
"Hmmm…" Allan groaned, finishing the whole bottle. "Geh… I-I\'m gonna throw up… G-Give me to chocolate…"
"Here." I gave him a small chocolate, as he started nibbling on it and immediately recovered.
"Eh? Not fair!" Anna quickly drank the whole potion, almost vomiting it midway through, and then drinking a cup of clean water afterwards. "Bleeh… Gimme gummies!"
I gave her the gummies. As the two continued eating, they furrowed their eyebrows… I think they were a bit angry at me, but they knew this was for their own good.
"I am not feeding you something gross because I enjoy it or something." I sighed. "These Elixirs are made using dragon blood and other parts… Alongside many other premium materials. They\'ll make you so strong nobody in this whole village will compare to you two."
In fact, the Dragon Elixirs I had made for them were an even more improved version, which used new and higher quality ingredients, including Lesser Yggdrasil\'s roots, leaves, and fruits I picked up here alongside a Red Dragon Claw, which I bought in Stronghold before departing.
"Hmm, fine~" Anna sighed, pouting a bit. "But only if you give me a kiss! Hehehe…"
"Fine." I sighed, giving her a kiss in her forehead.
"Eeeh? In the lips, like the ones you give to Erika!" She complained.
"Those are only exclusive to my girlfriend." I laughed.
"Muhh… Then give me a chocolate!" She said.
"Not until you drink your second elixir, young lady." I said with a smile.
"Bleh…" Anna sighed.
"Gulp, gulp…" Meanwhile, Allan was already drinking his second.
"See? Looks like your brother\'s the more compromised to this!" I said.
"Eeehh?! No way!" Anna complained, beginning to drink her second elixir.
As they ate their candies, drank elixir, and continued, the two were slowly glowing with stronger magical auras. I had already forged their magic circles into their souls, and with their developing unique physiques, my two younger twin siblings were going to grow into absurd powerhouses.
Once they finished, I used magic to help their small stomachs absorb the elixirs quickly, although this made them go to the bathroom right after… However, once they were finally done, they felt completely revitalized, and the effects of the Elixir had already taken ahold into their bodies.
FLAAASH!
Their auras transformed and changed, Anna glowed with gold, while Allan had a bright silver aura. Both slightly took the shape of a dragon, opening its wings majestically, only for a few seconds, but it looked amazing.
"Woah… I feel so strong now…" Allan said. "I-Is this okay?"
"This is such a crazy boost! They tasted awful but I am so strong now!" Anna said happily.
"Hmm." I nodded. "Alright, now prepare yourselves, for the rest of my break in here, I\'ll be training you two daily. From fighting techniques to magic, to mana manipulation and cultivation, to ki manipulation and physique enhancement, I\'ll make sure to ingrain everything into your little heads."
"Ugh…" Allan sighed. "I-I don\'t think I am ready, big brother…"
"Heheh! Alright! Bring it on!" Anna said, her bright eyes shining happily. "I need to keep training so one day I can surpass Erika!"
"Surpass her? That seems really far, you\'ll have to work harder than anybody else." I laughed. "But I can assure you that you can grow very strong, at the very least."

Like that, in between training my siblings, hunting with my father, cooking, and sewing with my mother and my grandmother, and having a good time with my friends, the days went by flying, the two weeks I had for a break ended in a flash. It felt so fast I wanted to stay much longer with my family, but we had to depart.
An airship coming to pick us up had already arrived in our town, and we as everyone slowly departed, we said our goodbyes. I hugged my family tightly, and left many other gifts, food, and sweets for my siblings with them.
"I\'ll see you at the end of the year." I said with a smile. "Take care."
"Take care as well, dear." My mother said. "D-Don\'t do anything too dangerous, okay?"
"Haha! He\'s going to be a hero! He\'s going to do all the dangerous stuff and more, girl!" Laughed my grandmother.
"Don\'t worry mother, I\'ll be careful." I nodded. I was probably not going to be too careful, but I had to say something to make her feel better.
"Go on and do your best, as always, my champion." My father said, giving me a head pat and hugging me. "I am proud of you and everything you\'ve accomplished. And always keep in mind that we\'ll be here waiting for you. Even if something goes wrong, and you do not want to pursue this anymore, we\'ll be always here with open arms."
"Thank you, father." I said, hugging him back. "I really appreciate it."
"Goodbye big brother…" Allan was in tears. "Please come back quickly!"
"Y-Yeah!" Anna said, containing her tears, as the two hugged me tightly. Anna filled my face with kisses and her tears in between.
"I\'ll do, and I\'ll be back with even more elixirs and sweets, so look forward to it!" I laughed.
"Blehh…" The two groaned.
I stepped back into the airship with everybody else, waving my hand as we departed, back to the Academy, but in a brand-new Class now.
